Midlands Employer Alliance

We’re proud to have supported the Midlands Employer Alliance Young People’s Work Experience Programme for care-experienced young people.

Through our partnership with Solihull MBC and as part of the Care Leaver Covenant, Dodd Group welcomed two young individuals for valuable work placements. Matthew spent a week with our team at Quartz Point, while Nor joined us for two days at Quartz Point followed by a week at Chapelhouse.

This initiative, alongside brilliant employers like Birmingham Airport (who hosted the certificate ceremony), Severn Trent, Kier, Novotel, and NEC, is all about helping young people gain skills, confidence, and insight into future careers. Daniel Camp, Dodd Group’s Head of Retrofit and Building Services, commented:

“Both Matt and Nor came with a great attitude and appetite to learn – punctual, communicative, and genuinely interested in everything we showed them. A big thank you to our teams for their support throughout.”

We’re committed to continuing our support for care-experienced young people and helping build pathways into the world of work.
